After a warm-up in blustery conditions by Sea Lane Café in Goring, the walk was started by Worthing mayor Alex Harman.

It had turned wet by the time the walkers reached Worthing Pier and changed direction to head home, walking into the westerly wind.

The charity said it was a truly magnificent effort from all those who took part.
